Yttrium

About Yttrium (Y)

Symbol: Y
Atomic Number: 39
Atomic Mass: 88.90584
Element Category: Transition Metal
Yttrium is a silvery-metallic transition metal. It is present in most rare earth minerals alongside the Lanthanides.
The primary utilisation of Yttrium is in the production of phosphors. Yttrium oxide (Y2O3) and yttrium orthovanadate (YVO4) are combined with Europium to produce a red phosphor used in cathode-ray tube televisions and light-emitting diodes. Yttrium also serves as an additive in alloys to enhance the strength of aluminium and magnesium alloys.
Yttrium has no known biological function, and exposure to Yttrium compounds may cause pulmonary diseases in humans.
